But that's sort of how most things work though. The positive, good outcomes are sort of incidental (though hopefully intentional) side effects of a complex system of incentives that are usually not perfectly aligned. ie, why does Exxon Mobi

I agree with most of the article. Android and Chrome OS are great products, I just don't see how Google is going to make money from them. Not sure about Chrome, but I feel like Android is a defensive measure against a possible monopoly. I

If you're talking about os products that are supported by a company, there are a great deal of paid designers, eg mozilla, webkit, android, etc. Just in this context of getting people to 'contribute', we're explicitly referring to projects

Sounds unfair, developers don't get paid, why do designers do.

Assuming this article is correct, I don't understand why any political leader would not 'fix' the growth calculations to be rosier. Surely there are great political incentives to do so, the Japanese parliament has really unpopular leaders b

Abstractions are absolutely necessary imo. Code like that is too long to be easily maintainable. http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs/browse_thread/thread/c... Also, that guy is responsible for nodetuts, which I'm very thankful for! htt

No ill will vs Dan, but this is not like Steve Jobs taking an academic project from Xerox and integrating it into his system. This is like Steve Jobs joining Xerox and presenting the same system to the Xerox manager under a different title.

Are you saying that war increases technological growth? That's crappy pop-history that's largely been discredited. Competition invites advancement, blowing up your competitors does nothing.

What they really need is some sort of Flash plugin version. I have a CR-48 that would be perfect for this.

AFAIcantell they only do PC games (or ports), so they don't have that problem. They probably won't deal in specialty hardware, that would be a nightmare. Just standard, out of the box hardware that can contribute to their overall processing

It's virtualized, and considering not everyone plays games at the same time, you would prob get a lot more than 4 players per "pc"

That's because that's the page you're directed to when they detect an incompatible browser. This page is probably static.

I didn't say that it was based off of the spam tool. But going on Google clearly had targets. It's not like they couldn't figure out what farmers were without the tool.

I'm vaguely disturbed by all the talk about "sites people want to see fall". That sounds like almost manual bias against certain sites to me. Didn't hear anything about language analysis and figuring out what is high quality vs low quality

I guess I'm in trouble. My software does the opposite of helping people get laid. It's related to anime.

I want this so much. That sounds amazing if true, however the design is not trust inspiring.

I didn't have sound on so I couldn't hear what you were saying. But my first impression from that video was that you need to take a shower. Then it got impressive, and I understood what was going on. I think it would behoove you to just sta

I thought this was common knowledge. He IS regarded as a shill. His analysis is still often pretty good as long as one acknowledges the bias.

You don't have to write a title. That's huge, I hate writing titles.

Is it just me or does this comment not make sense?

3 months ago I would agree. But just recently many things have come together for node.js. uglify.js, mongoose, and stylus, just to name a few.

Google is not a surveillance company. It's an AI company with a rapacious appetite for data so that it can learn about the world and make better decisions.

Pretty sure this is part of their ChromeOS strategy. It would be impressive and a big differentiator for a tablet (presumably an x86 tablet will exist at some point) to be able to run srs bzn programs.
